The Wargaming scenery will be around on Friday and Saturday, and all the society boardgames will be there all weekend.

LARP Traders

Traders will be doing their trading thing from 11-2 on Sunday, in D/L/036+037! Taking your moneys will be:

• Darkblade
• Gem's Clothing Store
• Ceolred Monger
• Character Kit
• Runic Rose

(There could be others selling stuff, and I may bring some society lost property for people to reclaim/buy.)

Gem's have a whole load of stock, so have asked that people email them if they have anything specific they want. Some traders may not be equipped to take cards too, so cash may be useful.

IMPORTANT: Due to recent events on campus involving replica-weapons and such, YUSU have asked that people try to bring some manner of wrapping, to cover any weapons they buy as they leave (just a coat will do really.)

Finally, if anyone would like to help set up (please please please), try to get to the rooms for 9am.

Spectral Sleuths [aka Ghost Cluedo]

In the British Museum, a new body has been uncovered - and this one's not an exhibit. The Ghosts of the Museum find themselves the only ones who can solve the mystery.

Happening on the Saturday of Convention, Spectral Sleuths: Adventure of the Silenced Scholar will follow the adventures of a group of ghosts tied to the museum as they try to solve a murder.

The players are all Ghosts at the Museum, tied to their bodies or possessions or fond memories, and attracted to the scene of the crime for their own varied reasons.

Week 1: Exams :(

Mordheim: Border Town Burning
We return again to the Cathayan borderlands where various factions battle for fame and fortune this Saturday from 1pm in G/001 and G/002.  New players are welcome, if you have any questions or would like me to bring certain miniatures to borrow on the day, feel free to ask me either in person, via email or on the forums.

The Ruinous Powers aren't seeing much love, so if you fancy taking up arms for the glory of Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch or Slaanesh and ascending to daemonhood (in that game we play) we'd love to have you along!

If you're interested in getting some custom made miniatures for tabletop or wargaming purposes then Liam is offering to do them for little more than the cost of parts. Seek him out at social or drop us an email if you're interested!

The first term Tabletop Roleplay Day will be happening this Saturday (8th Nov) in G/001, G/002, G/010 and G/013 from 13:00

This is primarily an opportunity for people interested in Tabletop Roleplay to have a chance to give it a go with one-off games designed as an introduction to the hobby.  And of course those with more experience are more than welcome to join in the fun!

If you are interested in running a game, then please email a blurb for your game or post it on the forums!  (Due to time restrictions we advise pre-gened characters or ones very quick to make.)

Vague Structure of the day:

• Assemble at 13:00 in G/001, first set of games run. until around 6ish
• Pizza and other food after the first lot of games.
• Then a second set in the evening if people are happy to keep going!

Monday, November 3, there will be a LGBTQ-SF&F meet-up/hangout/get-to-know-ya thing. We're aiming for seven or so at Weatherspoons/Postern Gate. While we do acknowledge that our allies are wonderful people, we'd like this to be a safe place for LGBTQ SF&Fers who might not be out (or want to be out) to the rest of the society. Jai will be "hosting", so if you're not sure who else will be there, look for a person with a floof of bright blonde hair on top.
Again: 7pm Weatherspoon/Postern Gate, Monday, Nov. 3
